If you ain't been to the ghetto.
Don't come to the ghetto.
'Cause you won't understand the ghetto,
so stay the fuck out of the ghetto.**
from the song Ghetto Bastard

and if you did go to the ghetto ... listen carefully and watch ... if you
went to rome do what the romans do ... once you pass this kind of initiation
you will belong to the ghetto and all barriers are gone ... at least this
has been my personal experience ... i have been accepted in many 'ghettos'
because i don't go to tell people what to do, what to feel, how to behave,
what should not be said and so on ... i believe this is respect

i might not be very welcome in the 'white ghettos' but even then this is not
true ... i write to nazis, and i state my position as clearly as i do in
this list ... but never went as a bulldozer, i realised one of the
'ideologists' just lost his dad and his mum wasn't coping very well, this is
how i started one and every single one of my emails: i hope your mum is
feeling better ... in the next sentence i would argue my Marxist view when
it comes to economics ... i believe people defend vested interests and there
is nothing that will convince me otherwise ... i believe that the synthesis
of the female and the male principle at an ontological level is the
androgyny and there is nothing that will convince me otherwise ... at the
same time a AM A MAGIC-SPIRIT PRACTITIONER and there is nothing that will
convince me otherwise because the spirit shows its face second after second
and we insist to be consumed by mediocrity ... yeap, i am my own ghetto in
many respects, so i you don't like the ghetto, stay away because i do reply
{;-)

it has been a pleasure to take part of this list ... i like when people
speak their mind, specially if i do not agree with their opinions, this way
i am forced to get over "what the fuck is this person saying" to how can i
answer in a way that i make my point clear and hopefully not be alienating
so that the other person, with an opposite position, might be able to 'see'
from where i am standing ...
